This is a red alert for California lawmakers to do everything possible to get #ICEOutofCA, permanently shutter closed #CAprisons, stop immigrant detention center expansion, and protect our communities. #TheICEAgeIsOver

$171 billion of new funding for immigration enforcement.

that's $45 billion to fund more detention centers
$14 billion to fund state + local law forces collaborating
$30 billion more for ICE

staggering, gigantic figures in the bill that Congress just passed

Congress is poised to pour tens of billions of dollars into more immigration detention, private jails, and border operations, plus new ICE partnerships with local police and sheriffs.

This is an outrage. 😡

"Legal experts and advocates called the department’s move drastic and said the approach is solitary confinement in all but name."

Not a peep from @governor.ca.gov Why is that, Newsom?

"Nearly two dozen state prisons last week imposed sweeping restrictions on the incarcerated population — including shutting off outside communication. Now, hundreds are reported to be on a hunger strike to protest the system’s largest restrictions since the pandemic." calmatters.org/justice/2025...
California prisoners are protesting sweeping new restrictions with a hunger strike

📣The long-overdue closure of the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) has been riddled with preventable chaos, retaliation & negligence.

Urge @governor.ca.gov to implement recommendations for safe releases & ethical transfers: bit.ly/crcclosure

#CloseCAPrisons #ReleasesOverTransfers #CAPrisons
A bold advocacy graphic with a black, white, and lime-green color scheme. Text at the top reads: “CLOSE CA PRISONS” in white on a green banner. Large white text in the center says: “ACTION ALERT.” To the left, there’s a green megaphone icon. Below, smaller white text says: “STOP CDCR’s track record of retaliation and harm in the prison closure process! Safe releases & ethical transfers out of CRC NOW.” A bright green box on the right reads: “Write Gov Newsom TODAY.” At the bottom, there’s a blue and green logo labeled “CURB.” Underneath it, text says: “Click 2 Send Your Email Here: bit.ly/crcclosure.” A square social media graphic with a black background, lime-green accents, and white text. At the top, there are large green quotation marks. Below them, text reads: “MATHEW WITECKI, CURRENTLY INCARCERATED IN CRC.” The main quote says: “Do not be deceived. The relentless suffering unfolding at CRC is not a necessary part of the prison’s closure. These are choices being made by CDCR and CRC staff.” At the bottom, there’s a green banner with the CURB logo and text: “Click 2 Send Your Email Here: bit.ly/crcclosure.” Another square social media graphic with the same style — black background, lime-green highlights, and white text. Green quotation marks appear at the top. Text reads: “COREY ALLEN, EXPERIENCED THE CLOSURE OF CVSP PRISON.” The quote below says: “You know CDCR says all the right things on their websites, and media rounds, but making sure we are kept at places that fit our programming needs is a joke. This has been nothing but an adverse transfer for me.” At the bottom, there’s the CURB logo with the same banner and call-to-action: “Click 2 Send Your Email Here: bit.ly/crcclosure.” Same as previous, quote is from Duane Palm - incarcerated advocate who experienced the closure of CCC prison

The image is a bold, text-focused political graphic with a stark, high-contrast design. The background is a light gray or off-white textured surface resembling cracked plaster. At the very top, in a black horizontal banner, white uppercase text reads: “CALIFORNIANS UNITED FOR A RESPONSIBLE BUDGET.” Centered below, large block text dominates the image in alternating black and red uppercase letters. The message reads: “NEWSOM” (black, very large font) “CLOSED 5 CA PRISONS.” (red, equally large and prominent) “WHY LAWMAKERS MIGHT WANT TO” (black, slightly smaller but still bold) “SHUT ONE MORE” (red, large and emphasized) At the bottom, a black bar spans the width of the image. On the left side is a teal circular logo with the word “CURB” in white uppercase letters. To the right of the logo, white text reads: “Full Article: bit.ly/3-18calmatters” This image is another text-based political graphic with a clean, minimalist design. The background is a light gray, textured surface resembling plaster. At the top, a black banner stretches across the width with white uppercase text reading: “CALIFORNIANS UNITED FOR A RESPONSIBLE BUDGET.” Below, the main content is formatted as a quotation. On the left side, there is a large black quotation mark and a vertical black line, visually framing the text. The quote appears in mostly black text, with key phrases highlighted in red for emphasis. The text reads: “[Lawmakers] are pointing to a new analysis that shows the state’s incarcerated population has fallen so dramatically that California can close another prison… Lawmakers anticipate tight budgets if not deficits in upcoming years, and the Newsom administration estimates that closing a prison saves about $150 million a year.” The phrases “incarcerated population has fallen,” “close another prison,” and “$150 million a year” are in red. The rest of the text is in black. At the bottom, a black bar runs across the image. On the left side is a teal circular logo with the word “CURB” in white uppercase letters. To the right, white text reads: “Full Article: bit.ly/3-18calmatters” This image is a text-based political graphic with a consistent design style matching the previous ones. The background is a light gray, textured surface resembling plaster. At the top, a black horizontal banner contains white uppercase text that reads: “CALIFORNIANS UNITED FOR A RESPONSIBLE BUDGET.” Below, the main content is presented as a quotation. On the left side, there is a large black quotation mark and a vertical black line, framing the text. The quote is written primarily in black text, with a key portion highlighted in red for emphasis. The text reads: “The debate is possible because California prisons are holding about 70,000 fewer people than in 2011, when severe overcrowding and judicial orders compelled the Legislature to create a plan that would draw down that number.” The phrase “70,000 fewer people than in 2011” is in red. The rest of the text is in black. At the bottom, a black bar runs across the image. On the left side is a teal circular logo with the word “CURB” in white uppercase letters. To the right, white text reads: “Full Article: bit.ly/3-18calmatters” Same design and style as previous, only difference is the quote which reads: "Today, the system is under a court order to limit the number of prisoners to 137.5% of its capacity. The Legislative Analyst’s Office last month reported that prisons have space for 98,000 people, meaning the corrections department has about 8,000 more beds than it needs. “Reducing the number of empty beds in operation by closing an additional prison would allow for significant savings,” the report said.

There are multiple empty, closed prisons in California at risk of being reopened as immigrant detention centers. We cannot let this happen. Join the fight to protect our communities and progress. Follow @detentionwatchnetwork.org
